Received: 27 October 2020; Accepted: 1 December 2020; Published: 5 December 2020 Simple Summary: Some non-pathogenic viruses that do not cause serious illness in humans can efficiently target and kill cancer cells and may be considered candidates for cancer treatment with virotherapy. However, many cancer cells are protected from viruses. An important goal of personalized cancer treatment is to identify viruses that can kill a certain type of cancer cells. To this end, researchers investigate expression patterns of cell entry receptors, which viruses use to bind to and enter host cells. We summarized and analyzed the receptor expression patterns of two paramyxoviruses: The non-pathogenic measles and the Sendai viruses. The receptors for these viruses are different and can be proteins or lipids with attached carbohydrates. This review discusses the prospects for using these paramyxovirus receptors as biomarkers for successful personalized virotherapy for certain types of cancer. Abstract: The effectiveness of oncolytic virotherapy in cancer treatment depends on several factors, including successful virus delivery to the tumor, ability of the virus to enter the target malignant cell, virus replication, and the release of progeny virions from infected cells. The multi-stage process is influenced by the efficiency with which the virus enters host cells via specific receptors. This review describes natural and artificial receptors for two oncolytic paramyxoviruses, nonpathogenic measles, and Sendai viruses. Cell entry receptors are proteins for measles virus (MV) and sialylated glycans (sialylated glycoproteins or glycolipids/gangliosides) for Sendai virus (SeV). Accumulated published data reviewed here show different levels of expression of cell surface receptors for both viruses in different malignancies. Patients whose tumor cells have low or no expression of receptors for a specific oncolytic virus cannot be successfully treated with the virus. Recent published studies have revealed that an expression signature for immune genes is another important factor that determines the vulnerability of tumor cells to viral infection. In the future, a combination of expression signatures of immune and receptor genes could be used to find a set of oncolytic viruses that are more effective for specific malignancies.

Journal of Neuroinflammation (2015) 12:131 JOURNAL OF DOI 10.1186/s12974-015-0346-0 NEUROINFLAMMATION RESEARCH Open Access Pro-inflammatory TNFα and IL-1β differentially regulate the inflammatory phenotype of brain microvascular endothelial cells Simon J. O’Carroll1,2, Dan Ting Kho1,3, Rachael Wiltshire1, Vicky Nelson1,3, Odunayo Rotimi1,2, Rebecca Johnson1,3, Catherine E. Angel4 and E. Scott Graham1,3* Abstract Background: The vasculature of the brain is composed of endothelial cells, pericytes and astrocytic processes. The endothelial cells are the critical interface between the blood and the CNS parenchyma and are a critical component of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). These cells are innately programmed to respond to a myriad of inflammatory cytokines or other danger signals. IL-1β and TNFα are well recognised pro-inflammatory mediators, and here, we provide compelling evidence that they regulate the function and immune response profile of human cerebral microvascular endothelial cells (hCMVECs) differentially. Methods: We used xCELLigence biosensor technology, which revealed global differences in the endothelial response between IL-1β and TNFα. xCELLigence is a label-free impedance-based biosensor, which is ideal for acute or long-term comparison of drug effects on cell behaviour. In addition, flow cytometry and multiplex cytokine arrays were used to show differences in the inflammatory responses from the endothelial cells. Results: Extensive cytokine-secretion profiling and cell-surface immune phenotyping confirmed that the immune response of the hCMVEC to IL-1β was different to that of TNFα. Interestingly, of the 38 cytokines, chemokines and growth factors measured by cytometric bead array, the endothelial cells secreted only 13.

China 4Department of Laboratory Medicine, Bengbu Medical College, Bengbu, P.R. China Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) are bipotential progenitor cells that can differentiate into myelin-forming oligodendrocytes or functionally undetermined type II astrocytes. Transplantation of OPCs is an attractive therapy for demyelinating diseases. However, due to their bipotential differentiation potential, the majority of OPCs differentiate into astrocytes at transplanted sites. It is therefore important to understand the molecular mechanisms that regulate the transition from OPCs to oligodendrocytes or astrocytes. In this study, we isolated OPCs from the spinal cords of rat embryos (16 days old) and induced them to differentiate into oligodendrocytes or type II astrocytes in the absence or presence of 10% fetal bovine serum, respectively. RNAs were extracted from each cell population and hybridized to GeneChip with 28,700 rat genes. Using the criterion of fold change > 4 in the expression level, we identified 83 genes that were up-regulated and 89 genes that were down-regulated in oligodendrocytes, and 92 genes that were up-regulated and 86 that were down-regulated in type II astrocytes compared with OPCs.

An experimental system suitable for the quantitative study of mycoplasma adherence has been developed by us. The system consists of human erythrocytes (RBC) and the avian pathogen Mycoplasma gallisepticum, in which membrane lipids were labeled. The amount of mycoplasma cells attached to the RBC, which was determined according to radioactivity measurements, decreased on increasing the pH or ionic strength of the attachment mixture. Attachment followed first-order kinetics and depended on temperature. The mycoplasma cell population remaining in the supernatant fluid after exposure to RBC showed a much poorer ability to attach to RBC during a second attachment test, indicating an unequal distribution of binding sites among cells within a given population. The gradual removal of sialic acid residues from the RBC by neuraminidase was accompanied by a decrease in mycoplasma attachment. Isolated glycophorin, the RBC membrane glycoprotein carrying almost all the sialic acid moieties ofthe RBC, inhibited M. gallisepticum attachment, whereas asialoglycophorin and sialic acid itself were very poor inhibitors of attachment.

  • SLAM Family Receptor Signaling in Viral Infections: HIV and Beyond
    Review SLAM Family Receptor Signaling in Viral Infections: HIV and Beyond Patrick O’Connell 1 , Andrea Amalfitano 1,2 and Yasser A. Aldhamen 1,* 1 Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, College of Osteopathic Medicine, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA; oconn341@msu.edu (P.O.), amalfit1@msu.edu (A.A.) 2 Department of Pediatrics, College of Osteopathic Medicine, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA * Correspondence: aldhamen@msu.edu Received: 15 October 2019; Accepted: 13 November 2019; Published: 16 November 2019 Abstract: The signaling lymphocytic activation molecule (SLAM) family of receptors are expressed on the majority of immune cells. These receptors often serve as self-ligands, and play important roles in cellular communication and adhesion, thus modulating immune responses. SLAM family receptor signaling is differentially regulated in various immune cell types, with responses generally being determined by the presence or absence of two SLAM family adaptor proteins—Ewing’s sarcoma-associated transcript 2 (EAT-2) and SLAM-associated adaptor protein (SAP). In addition to serving as direct regulators of the immune system, certain SLAM family members have also been identified as direct targets for specific microbes and viruses. Here, we will discuss the known roles for these receptors in the setting of viral infection, with special emphasis placed on HIV infection. Because HIV causes such complex dysregulation of the immune system, studies of the roles for SLAM family receptors in this context are particularly exciting. Keywords: HIV; SLAM; SAP; EAT-2; SLAMF7; SLAMF6; innate immunity; adaptive immunity; immune-modulation 1. The SLAM Family of Receptors The signaling lymphocytic activation molecule (SLAM) family of receptors are a set of nine conserved cell-surface glycoproteins present on the cell surface of immune cells (Table1).
